Beginning with nearly 550 trees, the Maplewood Rotary Club’s 2016 Christmas Tree Sale has been receiving a strong turnout by local residents since the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This past weekend we have sold close to 200 trees plus wreathes and other Christmas goodies. All profits go to local charitable causes. The Rotary Club would like to thank all the hard working Rotarian's, their family members who helped, Maplewood Boy Scout Troop 5 and Seton Halls fraternity Alpha Chi Rho. (The Scouts and Alpha Chi Rho also assisted Maplewood Rotary with their annual spaghetti dinner held last month at St. Joe's Church in Nov 12, 2016). Also very helpful were members of the Local Landscaper community who show their commitment to our local community, where many work and or live. Shown below in bottom picture.
